Compatibility overview

The combination of firstwest and secondwest is as favorable as any in the Western zodiac. Not only are they likely to share essential qualities and perspectives, but their differences can be beautifully complementary. In whatever arena these two meet, their shared energy provides as strong a foundation as any for collaboration, pleasure, and reliability.

The major synergy between the Western and Chinese zodiacs is the pride of place afforded to Trine matches, where signs are three steps apart. For Gemini and Libra, their Trine connection means they share the element of Air, meaning an emphasis on intellectual and social matters, and a lively, enthusiastic attitude. These two signs are likely to bond almost immediately, appealing to each other with spirited conversation, and a shared fascination with cerebral subjects and witty expression.

Gemini, of course, is the zodiac's great traveler, with a naturally insatiable appetite for ideas, places, and identities. But Libra represents a similar emphasis on the journey rather than the destination, given their instinctive desire to digest all aspects of subjects and pathways before settling on a way forward. Hence this is a connection destined to deepen with every opportunity. Where other signs might find Gemini fickle or Libra procrastinating, together these two will deeply appreciate the brilliant vitality and rich complexity of each other's wide-ranging frames of reference. For Gemini, Libra's broad compass will likely seem invaluable to the kinds of identity-related questions that are most fundamental to their way of seeing the world. For Libra, meanwhile, Gemini's natural preference for ranging across subjects rather than diving deeply means they are rarely forced into decisions or actions they do not feel ready for.

Shared projects—including the relationship itself—derive maximum benefit from the perfectly compatible modalities here. Gemini's Mutable energy, with its emphasis on consequences and implications, operates as a natural extension to the more inception-oriented influence of Libra's Cardinal sign. Few alliances will find such pure joy in simply talking and amusing each other as these two endlessly charming, gregarious souls.

Blessed fortune does not conclusively determine relationship prospects, of course, but under the right conditions this is simply a spectacular combination for pleasurable fulfillment through thick and thin, irrespective of the context.

Paul McCartney and John Lennon

Paul McCartney (6/18/1942, Gemini Horse), John Lennon (10/9/1940, Libra Dragon) : As founding members of The Beatles, the two musicians shared a close friendship, and formed perhaps the most famous songwriting partnership in history. In one of his last interviews, months before his assassination in 1980, Lennon described: "Well, you could say that [McCartney] provided a lightness, an optimism, while I would always go for the sadness, the discords, a certain bluesy edge...Paul had a lot of training, could play a lot of instruments. He'd say, 'Well, why don't you change that there? You've done that note 50 times in the song.' You know, I'll grab a note and ram it home. Then again, I'd be the one to figure out where to go with a song... a story that Paul would start. In a lot of the songs, my stuff is the middle-eight, the bridge...I always had an easier time with lyrics, though Paul is quite a capable lyricist who doesn't think he is... [A] lot of the songs we did eyeball to eyeball."

Cillian Murphy (5/25/1976, Gemini Dragon), Yvonne McGuinness (10/12/1972, Libra Rat) : The actor and artist have been married since 2004 and have two children together. Referring to the play and film Disco Pigs, which he starred in from 1996 to 2001, Murphy described: "That time, making Disco Pigs, was kind of the most important period of my life. The people I met there remain my closest friends...They shaped me in terms of my tastes, in terms of what I wanted to do with my life. And it was around the same time I met my wife. She came on tour with us. It was so exciting, 20 years ago or whatever it was – we were all just kids, trying to find our way – but such a special, special time."

Matthew Koma and Hilary Duff

Matthew Koma (6/2/1987, Gemini Rabbit), Hilary Duff (9/28/1987, Libra Rabbit) : The actor/singer Duff and singer/songwriter Koma have been together since 2016, and married in 2019. They have two children and share custody of Duff's child from a previous relationship. Duff posted in 2020, "Bubba, thanks for forcing me to go on that walk with you today (last year) I love you so much♥️...I will always choose sandwiches and 8 pm bedtimes over fancy date nights …. over and over again. My best friend, lover, and papa bear that cannot be rivaled…it’s always been you."

Laurie Metcalf (6/16/1955, Gemini Sheep), Zoe Perry (9/26/1984, Libra Rat) : The mother and daughter are actors who have also collaborated multiple times, including playing the same character at different ages in the show, Young Sheldon (2017-present). In a joint interview in 2018, Perry described: "For me, just thinking back to the first time we got to share a stage together when we did [The] Other Place [on Broadway, from December 2012 to March 2013] — it was such a lucky experience for me because I know what [Metcalf's] capable of. To get to rehearse with her and experience that side of it with her was just such a treat because she's such a pro and she's also really generous and she's also immensely respectful...I mean, you can't separate your own relationship, but she kind of managed to in a very loving way and I appreciated that." Metcalf said, "I also like the fact that Zoe and I are peers now in what we do...Now I have another peer in the family that I can turn to and get advice from."

Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas

Kathleen Turner (6/19/1954, Gemini Horse), Michael Douglas (9/25/1944, Libra Monkey) : The two actors displayed legendary chemistry when they appeared together in the films, Romancing the Stone (1984), The Jewel of the Nile (1985), and The War of the Roses (1989), and later the TV series, The Kominsky Method (2018-2021). In her memoir, Send Yourself Flowers (2008), Turner recalled about making Romancing the Stone: "For a time, I was sure I was falling in love with Michael. And I think he was falling in love with me. I was certainly inspired to portray [the character] Joan’s accelerated sexual awareness by working with Michael...[But] I saw that Michael wasn’t free to pursue another relationship. We couldn’t keep the romance. But we kept our friendship. Michael always says very nice things about me...as well he should. Michael and I did some very challenging scenes together. The mutual trust and the emotional connection we’ve always had enabled us to take on whatever hair-raising perils were necessary...Oh, yeah, there’s a little competition. Just a touch. Come on, wimp. Yeah. Oh, come on, Michael, I’ll do it. I’ll show you. But oh, God, the laughs."

Kevin Durant and Carmelo Anthony

Carmelo Anthony (5/29/1984, Gemini Rat), Kevin Durant (9/29/1988, Libra Dragon) : The two NBA basketball stars share a close friendship. Durant described in 2016: "[Anthony's] a real bro. That’s my guy. I’ve looked up to Carmelo since I was 15 years old. I wanted to be Carmelo. And once I got the opportunity to hang around him and get to know him a little deeper, coming into the Draft, I asked him for advice here and there and it just made things… it made the relationship even smoother." Anthony has said, "I’ve always heard that, from people back home...I’ve always heard that KD looked up to me. Now, I look at him as my peer. I don’t look at him as a guy who looked up to me. I respect that. It’s just hard, man, to see, to know, for me to fathom the fact that one of the greatest players in the world looks up to me, even now. It’s crazy — he looks up to me and I respect him and honor him, his game and his work ethic. That’s something that I appreciate about him."

At its heart, Chinese astrology is about four Trine Families. One such family comprises the Ox and Snake (with their close ally the Rooster). The energy that unites these two emphasises determination, perseverance, and sharp acumen.

The Ox is likely to be deeply impressed by the Snake's philosophical outlook, and being typically self-assured, the Ox is comfortable allowing themselves to be seduced by the Snake's other-worldly allure. The Snake, meanwhile, is instinctively drawn to the sense of security and strength of will that defines the Ox. Hence these two are natural partners, the Ox's legendary stubbornness interweaving beautifully with the Snake's patience and occasional guile. Together, they share deeply-held values around the importance of home, privacy, and duty. Indeed, as a pair they might occasionally be accused of a certain inflexibility, given the strength of their shared convictions, which other signs with less forceful energy may find challenging to navigate.

The ability of the Ox and Snake to work as a team, calmly anticipating and evaluating opportunities, then driving success with incredible reserves of physical and intellectual power, is perhaps unrivalled in all of astrology. As good as this relationship is in times of plenty, it is often even stronger in the face of adversity—which may be its greatest quality of all.

George Clooney (5/6/1961, Taurus Ox), Amal Clooney (2/3/1978, Aquarius Snake) : One-time legendary bachelor George Clooney was reinvented as half of a world-famous couple after entering a relationship with Amal Clooney (née Alamuddin). George Clooney has described: "The truth was I met this amazing woman, and she took my breath away. She was brilliant and funny and beautiful and kind. I was sort of swept off my feet."

Nas (9/14/1973, Virgo Ox), Dr. Dre (2/18/1965, Aquarius Snake) : Collaborations between these two Hip-Hop greats have been credited with helping to ease tensions during the East Coast/West Coast rap rivalry during the 1990s.

Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell

Finneas O'Connell (7/30/1997, Leo Ox), Billie Eilish (12/18/2001, Sagittarius Snake) : The singer/songwriter and singer/songwriter/producer are sister and brother. The two have collaborated extensively, notably on Eilish's hugely successful and multi-award-winning albums When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019) and Happier Than Ever (2021). In a joint interview, Connell described: "Then we were like, 'Let’s make some songs,' that kind of casual thing turned into this more serious thing, and so we had this excuse to see each other all the time. Most of the people that I’m closest to have a really close relationship with their siblings — I think that’s why I identify with them — but they just have no excuse to see them...And so I think that’s the other thing that has cemented our closeness, is just we have this excuse. It’s part of the reason I love going on tour with Billie — I have this excuse to get to spend months at a time with her." Eilish said, "We bicker so much, you would not believe it...Since we were babies, we fight all the time like siblings do. We’re so annoyed by each other and infuriated by things. But we also get along really well, and literally, no one on the earth makes me laugh the way that Finneas does. [O'CONNELL: Likewise]. I think that that part is probably the part that people say they don’t have with their siblings, which makes me sad because it’s the most amazing part of my life."

Sam Peckinpah (2/21/1925, Pisces Ox), Begoña Palacios (12/28/1941, Capricorn Snake) : The Mexican actor and famously troubled US director were married and divorced three times. Their daughter Lupita recalled, "They were so in love with each other but they were two people who couldn't be together but couldn't be separate. There was a lot of passion and love between them. She lived in the past and agonised about losing him. My mother always respected my father very much and she always told me great and beautiful things about him."

Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle

Dave Chappelle (8/24/1973, Virgo Ox), Chris Rock (2/7/1965, Aquarius Snake) : The two comedians are good friends who have expressed mutual admiration and appeared together on stage multiple times. Rock has described: "There was like a couple shows that were just me and Dave on stage for like two hours. He would call up my road manager, like, 'I'm coming.' ...I just love Dave, and I look at it like [Jean-Michel] Basquiat and [Andy] Warhol and we’re just collaborating."

Heidi Klum (6/1/1973, Gemini Ox), Tom Kaulitz (9/1/1989, Virgo Snake) : The model/entertainer/businesswoman and musician married in 2019. Kaulitz is Klum's third husband, and she has four children from previous relationships. She has described: "For the first time, [in Kaulitz] I have a partner who I can discuss everything with. Someone who shares duties that we all have in our life."

Jeff Bridges (12/4/1949, Sagittarius Ox), Beau Bridges (12/9/1941, Sagittarius Snake) : The two brothers are both screen actors, part of a dynasty with father Lloyd Bridges. In 2014, they appeared on stage together at a sold-out event entitled, "Beau and Jeff: A Tale of Two Bridges". Jeff has described their relationship and shared profession by saying, "It’s not a competition. It’s like we’re on the same team."
